It's official, we're going home!

I won't be making any money this week, but we will be getting home. We
finished delivering a load of dog biscuits in Tracy, CA (near Stockton)
about 9:00 this morning. Our next load doesn't pick up until noon
tomorrow in Fairfield (San Francisco/Oakland East Bay, not too far east
of Oakland), but it will get us home tomorrow night. Yeah! We get to
spend Wednesday night at home, and don't have to come back to work until
after Christmas!

And until time to roll for Fairfield, we parked at the Flying J truck
stop in Ripon, CA. I'm splurging and paying for WiFI so I have
high-speed Internet access today. And right across the street from us is
a big orchard. We're just about to go over there for our first kitten
walk in four days. It's so nice to be back in decent temps again! Our
current (11 AM) temperature of 54 degrees is so much nicer than
sub-freezing.

YAY! You be sure to hug Nancy extra tight; you haven't seen her in *weeks*.
And please give a scritch to Harri and your others from me

Who can understand cats?

We havent' done a kitten walk in four days, so I figured Harri would be
really eager to walk again. I harnessed her up, took into the orchard
across the street, and carrier her almost a block down the road before
setting her down. What does she do as soon as I put her down? Head back
the way we came, lead me across the street to the truck stop, and jump
up on the running board of our truck. She didn't want to walk, she
wanted to stay in the truck!

Ah, well, the mysterys of kitties. I'm off to take a shower and ponder
the wonderful ways of cats.

There's something special about dog biscuits delivered by a feline
co-pilot.

Excellent! Don't forget your bikinis!

That was strange, strange territory. Who knows what evils lurk in all
those trees? MLB

Yea! This is such good news. I know Nancy and the kitties will have a
much nicer Christmas with you home and you and Harri will as well.

Yay! Cody called us from Waco, TX today. I'm still glad he is driving *south*,
maybe he won't have snow/ice to deal with so bad. We have a Flying J in OKC
also.

Sherry

Glad to hear that! I'll keep my fingers crossed that he can stay out of
the ice and snow until he's a little more experience under his belt.

The Edwards (used to be an Edwards, now I guess it's a Pilot) just south
of Waco in Hewitt used to sell the best homemade tamales! That Flying J
in OKC is unfortunately one of the dirtiest ones in the chain. At least
it used to be - I've heard rumors that they have cleaned it up.

I was thinking that too! The times we've deliverd cat litter I haven't
told Harri about for fear she'd find a way to sneak into the trailer and
do some quality testing

I'm so happy for you!
Best wishes,
